TWI LCD test application based on i2c-dev interface without a kernel space driver, for details refer to the kernel document linux-2.6.x/Documentation/i2c/dev-interface. Different board may use different TWI port, please check the schematics. Use -n to specify the correct TWI port for your board, example:

1)BF537: twilcd_userspace_test -p 0 -n 0 “string”

2)BF548: twilcd_userspace_test -p 0 -n 1 “string”

3)BF527: twilcd_userspace_test -p 0 -n 0 “string”

Note: For BF527 board jumper “STAMP_ENABLE” must be shorted to turn on the TWI signal.

Moved to user space based on the i2c-dev interface so there is no longer kernel space driver for the lcd. This part is now implemented in: user/blkfin-test/twi_lcd-test/twilcd_userspace_test.c.
